Global Experience, Local Insight: OGCS in the Pacific Northwest

Investment in the Pacific Northwest is flowing into energy and infrastructure projects. Project teams are under increasing pressure to deliver with confidence —despite increasing complexity, regulatory requirements, and performance expectations. OGCS is ready to help.

At OGCS, we’ve built a global reputation for supporting capital projects from the inside out — with a team of practitioner-consultants who bring firsthand experience from major infrastructure, energy, and industrial developments around the world. Our experts have sat in your chair — leading project controls, claims resolution, procurement, and commercial contract strategy — and now they bring that insight to bear as your trusted advisors.

While we are new to the Pacific Northwest, we’re no strangers to the challenges and ambitions of this region.

“Complex projects demand clarity in contracts, commercial alignment, and proactive risk management. That’s what we do at OGCS.” explains Michael Ibarra, SVP Claims Advisory.

“Our consultants have been on both sides of the table — and now we’re extending our support to clients in the Pacific Northwest, helping them avoid disputes, and supporting them stay on time and on budget.”

What OGCS Brings to the PNW

The PNW is a region defined by innovation, environmental leadership, and complex delivery landscapes — from renewable energy buildouts and transportation upgrades to industrial and utility-scale infrastructure. Our approach is grounded in three principles that align well with the region’s project environment:

• Embedded Expertise
  We offer seasoned specialists in project controls, claims advisory, quantity surveying, and contract management, available to integrate directly with project teams or provide targeted advisory during critical phases.

• Disciplined Execution
  With projects facing increasing scrutiny on budget, schedule, and stakeholder accountability, we provide structured commercial insight and governance — expertise honed on global megaprojects, leveraged to suit regional nuances.

• Confidence through Experience
  Our team is built from professionals with decades of experience on delivered projects, meaning we understand both the pressure points and the potential blind spots. We bring a proactive, practitioner mindset to every engagement — from early planning to closeout.

Ready to Partner. Ready to Deliver.

We know that every region — just like every project — has its own personality. OGCS doesn’t bring a one-size-fits-all playbook. Instead, we combine global discipline with local curiosity. We’re actively engaging with regional partners, regulators, and clients to understand what excellence looks like in the PNW — and how we can contribute to it.

We’ve supported projects in high-stakes environments across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

Our goal is not just to bring that experience to the Pacific Northwest, but to translate it — helping clients navigate risk, unlock value, and move with confidence through complexity.

Michael comments further: “The Pacific Northwest is entering a pivotal phase of infrastructure and energy transformation. At OGCS, we’re bringing decades of global delivery experience to support project teams here with the tools, insight, and confidence they need to deliver. OGCS is ready to support projects succeed through day one to delivery.”
